There will be time

There will be time, there will be time:
A time to seek the time we lost
Searching for time and for our false sweethearts.
Over the ruins of yesterday we fought;
We fought over our forgotten pasts;
Over the midnight hours we lost
Searching for ghosts and for imagined wars;
But there will be time, there will be time.

There will be time, there will be time:
A time to find the time we lost
Searching for reasons to forget our pasts.
Over tomorrow's promises we'll laugh;
We'll make fun of our ancient wars;
Over our tombs we'll grow our lawns
And search for our ghosts in the hearts of our flowers;
For there will be time, there will be time.

--Shyam.
